Empty apartment in 540 on fire today. Alot of smoke.

The apartment is empty and was being renovated. Don't know what started it. 

Firemen were hosing it down, checking surrounding Apts. They were pulling charred flooring out of the apartment. My whole floor smelled it. We all went out to watch this. A bit scary
